EDIT: Managed to get through the mini list and I can report a NSD! 5 out of 10. Not going to make target this month!0 -
Also been a good girl and got my receipts sorted and updated my grocery amount in my sig

Now Im tucked up in bed and about to read my mag for 5 mins.0 -
Reading this is fascinating and very inspiring! Great positive tone. Had been a bit hard on myself today for indulging in expensive latte and croissant on way to work today (all because I didn't go shopping yesterday and had nothing in for breakfast). Reading this has made me think about the little positive things and focus on those instead so here we go:
*Checked online banking and set-up payment to Credit Union account
*Did some surveys for free IPoints
*Completed Saros screening questionnaire
*OH posted an ebay item from work for me
*Sold book on Amazon Marketplace
*Requested free eye test voucher from work
*Packed lunch from home
*Walked to and from supermarket in lunch break - free exercise!
*Bought items for cheap dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow (so no expensive croissant tomorrow)
*Resisted temptation to buy glossy mag in shops!
*Picked up clubcard application instore
*Checked Nectar points balance
Keep up the good work everyone and for those who have had a bad day today hoping tomorrow will be brighter for you.0
